"... something's changed the vibe..."

Take the carriage from Fatma territory and arrive safely.

For the first time in about a month, the town of Gimru felt more uncomfortable than nostalgia.

I mean, I've missed somewhere, even though people come and go more than before.

"Stay!

On the way to the store, there are three people in the guard force when they see voices that have suddenly sounded all over the city.

He seems to be chasing a man who runs a little bit ahead of him, even if he made a grand daylight flinch.

"Secure!"

"Damn! Let go of me!

One of the guards was very fast and quickly caught up with the killer.

However,

"! Danger!

"Whew!?

"Heh! You idiot, eh"

"Don't let them get away with it!

"Whoa!!

The way the killer is seized is sweet, and the killer pulls out the knife he had hidden and swings around.

The guard thereby sustained a wound to his face, further loosening the prisoner's custody.

The killer who tried to escape again was secured by other guards who had caught up with him,

"Are you all right!

"Ugh..."

There's nothing else in my life, but there's only a wound to my face and I think I'm bleeding a lot.

Will you let me do the restorative magic?

"Excuse me."

"What! Can't you see I'm taking it in?

"I'm someone who can use healing magic, but if it's good, could you let me take care of it?

"Twice fu... sorry! That helps!

Permission granted, so check the scratches and use intermediate high heels.

The wound wasn't that deep against the momentum of the bleeding, so the magic was enough once.

"What do you think? Are you uncomfortable or something?

"Oh, I'm fine now. No pain."

"Good."

I see how the wounded guard is doing, and now one of us is by my side earlier.

"Boy, thank you for your cooperation. And again, I'm sorry about earlier."

"My colleagues were more injured, so I had no choice."

"No, injuries and other everyday tea meals for us. You should always be prepared, and there should be no such thing as absurditing your voice to the inhabitants of the city who should defend it for a reason. Not to mention speech preaching such as hitting those who offered me treatment. It's an excuse, but it's been a bad day for bugs."

Apparently, this way, he's pretty serious.

"I thought I had already received my apology...... oh, so can I ask you a few questions?

Tell him that you've been away from this town for a while and ask him about the changes in the city's atmosphere.

"Then have you seen the new city being built in the south?

"Yes, it's still only the exterior walls, but the construction was pretty advanced."

"Mm-hmm. It's good that the construction is going well, but the fact is, the workers who came looking for a place to work are overflowing the city... see, there and there"

One after the other is shown in a narrow alley. There sitting on the side of the road or sleeping. Fishing for leftovers from restaurants and getting rid of them...

"Just one off the avenue, so much?

"People were growing until last month, but not so far, right? Apparently, the number of workers coming from elsewhere far exceeded their expectations. Thanks to this, there has been a sudden increase in the number of people fighting and having problems. We are also dealing with a rapid increase in personnel… even if we mobilize even immature newcomers, it is now the case that we work from morning to evening."

To all members of the Guard, I lose my head as one citizen.

"Really...... thank you for your time. Good luck with your work."

"Thank you, take care of yourself. Go home before dark."

This is how I break up with the guard and head to the store again.

■ ■ ■

and arrived. I tried to get inside through the employee entrance,

"Which is it? This place is off-limits to anyone involved."

A strange man called me off.

As far as I'm concerned, who are you? I feel like...

In the meantime, I asked to see Mr. Callum by explaining myself as an associate and the circumstances.

Then he seemed to think of something, too, that he could peacefully get inside,

"Welcome back, Store Manager!

Successfully proved that I was the manager.

And

"You were rude earlier. I heard the manager said it was a kid, but I thought it was some kind of joke, a little bigger for a kid, a little before adulthood."

"No matter how old you are, you usually think so, don't you?"

Confirm each other's identity, reconcile? It seems a little weird because we weren't fighting, but anyway, he talks to me in a close way. He's Mr. Eudham.

A man in his 20s with a human race, blonde hair and a slightly lighter feel. He calls himself a fighter, and his body actually looks pretty well trained. Rather than musculoskeletal, it shrugs away waste and is a well-narrowed boxer-like physique.

Anything. He seems to be traveling around the country doing an arms test, and on his journey he happened to stop by Giml and discovered and helped Sherma, the cook who was tangled up in shopping for ingredients.

He then sent Mr. Sherma to the store and Mr. Sherma explained the situation to Mr. Callum and everyone in the store. Concerned about the deterioration of security and crime prevention, Mr. Callum decided to increase the number of guards, and after consulting also Mr. Ox and Mr. Faye, he spoke to Mr. Eudham and said he had hired him as a temporary guard.

"Thank you for always protecting the store, Mr. Callum. And thank you so much for your cooperation, Eudham."

"Because this is what I do"

"I was just about to run out of roadblocks, too, so it was just fine. The treatment isn't bad, the atmosphere of the store is good, and most importantly, it's indispensable for the person to work with. It's the best environment for me."

"I'm glad you said that."

"Speaking of which, I hear the manager gets pretty good at it too... yeah, sounds pretty sure. How about a game?

Oh?

"What's wrong with you?

"No, because I seem weak. I was a little surprised that it was unusual or a fresh invitation"

"Oh, certainly at that age and physique, you may not look strong at first glance. But I was watching you as a guard earlier. As a fighter, I've repeatedly broken the dojo, and I know that my body moves with some strength."

Oh, that's going to depend!

"I've been feeling strange about the atmosphere in the city since I got back and you've been a little anxious...... Mr. Callum, how's everyone doing?

"Right...... now in addition to Faye and the others, Eudham is there, and you are working well without any particular anxiety in terms of protecting the store. But sometimes you still need to go out because of shopping, etc., and you seem anxious about the deterioration in security.

After all, the number of incidents has increased, and the other day, the Morgan Chamber of Commerce also had an arson incident. "

"What!? Is this for Mr. Serge?

When asked in surprise, Mr. Callum nods heavily.

He and his sister, Carla, who is at Store 2, are the people who came from the Morgan Chamber of Commerce with the courtesy of Serge. If he were to be set ablaze by the ancient nest for him, I guess he wouldn't be able to stay calm.

"The Morgan Chamber of Commerce also had a night guard available, so the fire was immediately extinguished, but the bold offense of shooting in the magic of fire after throwing in an oiled candle at a few people. The killer has escaped, multiplied by the confusion of extinguishing fire, and has not yet been caught. The security was never too weak, so I was wondering if it was a well-planned professional offense… At the time of the incident, there was also a big upset in the city."

"Of course."

The Morgan Chamber of Commerce is a super famous store, not to mention.

The name has a credit, a brand, and Giml's is its head office.

Arson incidents in stores used by many and at a glance even if they are not.

If it were a previous life, the press would be pushing it in no time.

"Mr. Serge is"

"You're safe. Employees have not been harmed because people were instructed to be safe and sound."

"Really? That's good."

But don't worry about it. Things are a lot different in town, and I'd like to talk to you for a second.

"Mr. Callum. Is there anything you need suddenly at work?

"I have some paperwork for you to check, but you'll be tired from the long journey, and I'll have no particular problems tomorrow."

"Really! Then I will sweeten you to your words today and excuse you. I've bought a few things in Fatma territory, so I'll stop by Mr. Serge's."

"Okay. Tell them I said hello."

"Oh, yeah. You all have proper souvenirs, so I'll sort them out and give them to you tomorrow.

Bye! "

As soon as I got back, I left the store and ran to the Morgan Chamber of Commerce...
